so, the hair is starting to shed. it's pretty scary to see it coming out. i knew it was coming, and thought i would take it better than i am, but wow. i'm pretty bummed. my hair has always been my THING! i've taken pills, been getting in all my protein....i knew it probably wouldn't make a difference, but still. it's been going on for a few weeks...hopefully it won't last too long. blah! just needed to vent...

thanks everyone! i know it's just something i have to go through, and the weight loss and health definitely outweigh it.

Does anyone know if the Crystal Light pure fitness powders are ok to use? I know we should be sugar-free, but this only has 3g of sugar per packet and taste sooo much better than regular CL.

I was just wondering how everyone takes their vitamins? This morning I sat down with mine and tried to get them in one at a time and I thought I was gonna vom! Is it ok if I space them out throughout the day? Ick!

You've already made it 2 weeks. What's one more? I was sleeved by Dr. Nick as well, and it was a tough 3 weeks, but I got through it. I would rather follow doc's orders rather than chancing a leak or other complication. He gives those orders for a reason. .....but that's just me!

How much time off work??
bugirl928 replied to Ricky's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have a desk job and thought 2 weeks would be plenty. Wrong! I ended up taking a total of 3 weeks off, and still had to take it slow when I went back to work. -
Does anyone else have problems eating chicken salad? I've tried it two different times, and both times it just hasn't agreed with me. It's a bummer because I really enjoy it. Even after a couple of bites, I start to feel ill. I have no problems with chicken itself, I eat that quite often with no problems. Maybe it's the mix of spices and the mayo? Blech!

Chicken salad - fail :(
bugirl928 replied to bugirl928's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
thanks for all the different responses! i am 6 weeks out, and cleared for regular food now, and the chicken was very mushy and shredded, which is why i decided to go for it. it also could have just been bad chicken salad! ...it was from the cafe at work. -
Hi, I am 2 days post op and haven't had a bowel movement nor do I feel the need. I've read others have diarrhea. Is it ok that I'm not going?

Do you know when he gives the go ahead for exercise? I can call, but just wanted to see if there was a general time frame he's given others. Thanks!!

This is so random, but i just wanted to make sure before i did it. I am 3.5 weeks out, and desperately needing a pedicure. Do you think there is any harm in getting one, since i'm not completely healed? I'm just thinking fungal infection from pedicure, coupled with a body that is still trying to get to 100% healed. The place i go is very clean, and i've never had a problem before, but with my luck you never know!
-
thanks everyone! i did go out and get one, and boy did it make me and my feet feel good!!

Hungry, or not...after surgery
bugirl928 replied to SpiceyMom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
the first couple of weeks i had zero hunger. in week 3 i'm starting to feel hunger, but not the ravenous hunger i experienced pre-op. -
Only able to eat tiny amounts
bugirl928 replied to bugirl928's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh Tiffykins! I was so hoping you would reply to my post! Thanks for the advice and the reassurance! I guess I am still really early out, and my stomach isn't used to anything but liquids. Like you always say, it takes time! -
Hi all. I am 3 weeks out today, and started soft solids. I was so excited, because I was so over the liquid stage. However, I'm noticing that I'm only able to eat literally a couple of bites of anything before I feel like I've over done it. Is this normal? I would like to be able to get some protein in through food, instead of having to do so many shakes, but I just can't get anything in.
-
I had terrible pain where you are having it throughout the second week. My doc said it was normal, and that I just over did it. I was ordered to keep with the pain meds, heating pad, and laying flat for awhile. I did this for a few days and was feeling almost no pain about a 3-4 days later. Now it's just more discomfort not really pain. Hang in there!

Sex and sleeping on your tummy or side
bugirl928 replied to mandems mom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm a stomach sleeper, and can't wait to be able to do it again!! My butt hurts too from laying on my back so much, and internally I aggravate my incision when laying on my side. I'm 3 weeks out and not as in much pain, but I don't want to chance re-aggravating by trying too early. As far as sex, I was told 6 weeks, and as I felt able. -

Stabbing Pain In Abdomen
bugirl928 replied to caleybooth's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i had the same pain, but on my left side. i thought i was going to die. the doc told me it was just normal post op pain and that many people feel like they are up to moving around, about a week or so out, when really we should be resting. i had just over done it, but after a few days of complete rest, i was feeling much better! it wouldn't hurt to ask your doc though! good luck! -
